Are you going to do any special OSX stuff? The reason I ask is that I am a 25-year Unix head currently running Linux. As a very early webmaster (1992) I wrote a few CGI programs in C and Perl back in the 1990's, but nothing since. I went back and forth on trying an arduino, even though I am not a hardware type, because its programming interface is C/C++ versus the Stoker. I do have a WinXP box on my network for video capture and editing, but I want to keep pit control and monitoring on Linux and iphone. When I found that the web interface was documented, that at least opened the possibility of doing some custom programming. Documentation of the telnet and ftp interfaces gave another way to collect data for recording and graphing. I ordered my Stoker yesterday.
However, I have no idea what json is, and I have never done anything with java because I can usually do what I want with procedural programming easier than I can visualize object-oriented approaches.
So I am definitely interested in what you are doing. Have you found the discussions of webapp that were going on back in the Winter? j ostheim has a cgi charting program on the web. He also talks about json and trying to get "them" to implement jsonp.
In short, count me in. I want to be able to chart in real time while cooking. In the short term I ordered 1 fan and pit probe, plus 3 food probes. Since I have not seen the builtin interface I am not sure what can be controlled or monitored by default. Once I get mine, then I may have more requests.
Is it really going to take 2 to 3 weeks for delivery?
